Personal Questions

[Alex]

Mostly my most intimate ones have been non-carnal. There are a few exceptions, but I've generally kept myself emotionally separate from people I was just having sex with.

[RCMerchant]

No, I think it was one where I killed many, many, people.

Seriously, I lived with Tiana for 11 years, and she's still my best friend.

OK, if it's out of line to ask this, feel free to throw shade at me, but where are the bodies buried I have known a lot of people who say they married their best friend (or lived with them a long time, etc.) and that idea has always seemed foreign to me, because, well, how do you have sex with your best friend? To me the nature of a best friend is entirely different from the relationship you have with a lover. Have I been deprived one of life's best experiences?

Like Alex says, sex is just sex.  And yes, you can have sex with your friends. Who else would you have sex with? Your enemies? A stranger, I guess, or a hooker.

Not to gross anyone out but I stayed a virgin until I was 36.

I feel like one of the games where someone says something and if you've done it, you need to take a drink. Yes, I've had sex with an enemy and strangers. Even a strange enemy.

Congratulations, you just triggered one of my uncontrolled laughing fits.

Oh, man, I need help.

Have the most intimate relationships of your life been the carnal ones?

No.  Undoubtedly the most intimate relationship I've had is with my brother's wife.  We were always close, but we experienced perhaps the most difficult time of our lives together which forged an unbreakable bond.  Death breaks all bonds. 

[ER]

Not gross, you were being who you are, and who you are seems like a pretty decent bloke.

[ER]

Have the most intimate relationships of your life been the carnal ones?

The two deepest and most personal relationships of my life are on opposite sides of that question.
My wife I've known now since we were 7 - that's 52 years - and we are both emotionally close and physically intimate.
The deepest friendship/relationship I've ever had beyond that is with a person whom I've never met face to face.  We are incredibly intimate, but not in the physical sense.

So which of those two relationships would you consider the more intimate? Considering you've known me since I was twenty-one, since two months before Brian died, actually, when I was apparently more flirty and lighthearted with everyone, as you once described, ha, I can probably get away with asking you that, and I am curious. The spouse or the mouse?
PS I won't tell either one.

[indianasmith]

I will go all Solomon on this one and say equally intimate in very different ways.

Dude, that was a slow pitch over home plate to say your wife.  Be abashed, Indy, be abashed.

What is your relationship with this third party you are intimate with that you've never met?

[ER]

If you were picked by lottery to execute someone on death row whose identity and crime were not revealed to you, or if you refused, this person would be set free, would you execute this person?

[ER]

BTW, as much as I oppose the death penalty---which isn't that passionately, though I do think it's wrong---I believe in that case I would trust American justice enough to think the greater evil would be releasing a presumably convicted murderer out into society, so I'd choose to be the executioner, and hope it would be just throwing a switch and I didn't have to stab or beat someone to death.

What is your relationship with this third party you are intimate with that you've never met?

Simply the closest friend I've ever had, who knows all my secrets and the depths of my soul.
I love my wife more, of course, but this person knows some things about me I've never told another soul.

[Rev. Powell]

If you were picked by lottery to execute someone on death row whose identity and crime were not revealed to you, or if you refused, this person would be set free, would you execute this person?

No. Such an absurd condition would suggest a corrupt motive.
